Professor Tim Murithi in this interview explains how Africa has always been a central part of the UFO encounter phenomenon. Murithi is an internationally respected advocate for peace, a member of the Society for UAP Studies, and an affiliate of the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research, or ICER. He is also head of the Peacebuilding Interventions Programme at the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as the Extraordinary Professor of African Studies, at the Centre for African and Gender Studies, University of the Free State, also in South Africa. Murithi has more than 25 years of experience in the fields of peace, security, international justice, governance, and development, and has become an avid scholar of the UAP phenomenon, African folkloric connections to UAP, and the global politics of disclosure. We discuss UFO history in Africa, including the rather prescient scientific knowledge of the Dogon Tribe, E.T.-related Egyptian myths, and the Ariel School event in Zimbabwe, including its investigation by Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack. We drill down on how knowledge that we are not alone may impact the state of our struggling world. Finally, we explore the need for a truth-and-reconciliation movement — such as the one deployed in South Africa to end apartheid — to finally break through what UFO scholar Richard Dolan calls “the truth embargo.”

Far to the north of England there is a region so haunted and in such a disturbing way that it is known as the Wolf Lands. Listen and Whitley and Wolf Lands researcher Paul Sinclair adventure into the darkness and supernatural menace of this strange region–and happy Halloween!

wo weeks ago William Sosa showed us a working model of the Dendera Lights. This week he returns with a detailed description of how the ancient Egyptians generated the electricity needed to power it, hows a replica of the light in operation and demonstrates how the Egyptians could generate the electricity needed and shows a working model of the device that they used to do this. He also very clearly explains the use of the Ankh and of the mysterious “pinecones” of the Sumerians–AND shows exactly what Ed Leedskalnin did to create the Coral Castle in Homestead Florida.

Gary Lachman, known for his work with Blondie and later as a writer on consciousness and the Western tradition, tells us about his incredible life journey from the NYC  underground music scene to his current focus on the mystical and occult, including his experiences with various authors and figures like Colin Wilson and Aleister Crowley.  We go deep into the mysteries of chaos magic and beyond in this amazing discussion.

The mysterious objects depicted on the walls of the Temple of Hathor in Dendera have been a source of speculation in the western world ever since they were discovered. Conventional archaeology assumes that they were ritual objects and not what they appear to be, which are lights of some kind. Now engineer William Sosa has created replicas that work as the original objects must have done.

As Whitley puts it in the show, “if we’re trapped here forever then this is a prison. If not, then it’s a school.” But which is it?? Listen to this intense and provocative discussion that begins with a long-ago secret meeting arranged by Laurance Rockefeller between Whitley and Anne Strieber, John Mack, Edgar Mitchell and Joe Lewels. Amazing, powerful and provocative from beginning to end!

Guest host James Faulk from the Neon Galactic podcast interviews anthropologist and author Jack Hunter, a scientist with expertise in the paranormal and its crucial but virtually unknown connection to nature and its power. They cover Hunter’s background in anthropology and his experiences with spiritual phenomena, including his studies of spirituality and religion as they intersect with contemporary human societies and cultures. They explore the connection between anomalous experiences and storytelling, as well as the importance of a phenomenological approach in assessing other people’s experience of reality. They also discuss Hunter’s book, “Spirits, Gods, and Magic: An Introduction to the Anthropology of the Supernatural.” 

We begin an occasional series concentrating on high strangeness encounters with famed CE5 witness Steve Neill.

Lucid dreams are among the most powerful sources of seeing the truth that exist. But why don’t we have them more often, and how can we control them when we do have them? Lucid Dreaming expert Von Braschler shares his vast knowledge of this phenomenon.

John Ramirez has been a friend of Whitley and a friend of Unknowncountry for a number of years. Like Jim Semivan, also CIA (ret.) what drew him to this site was the fact that he has had close encounter experiences of his own. Rather than discussing disclosure and official programs as he does on most shows, here he describes his powerful personal experiences with structured craft and many other things. He also speculates from his unique perspective about the possibility there have been highly intelligent beings here taking an interest in us, and probably manipulating our histories for a very long time. There is also a searching conversation about whether or not there are human-appearing beings from other worlds here on earth. This is a provocative and powerful show!

Dr. Kevin Knuth, physics professor from SUNY Albany and a leading researcher into the UFO phenomenon, explains how the study of UAPs needs to better meet this historical moment by abandoning old, forensic methods of investigation to adopt a new approach he and others have described in a recent scientific paper, “The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomenon.”

This extremely unusual show starts with tech entrepreneur Mark Sims describing in the clearest possible terms what it is actually to share one’s body with another entity–not possession, but sharing, that is to say, the classic Communion experience. Then they move on to a discussion of a video the two of them made in 2012 during the Harmonic Convergence. In this video, Whitley describes a completely unique vision of disclosure. As he speaks, some sort of white substance gradually surrounds his face. So far, it has not been  explained as a known phenomenon by any of the video experts we have consulted. Audio users are urged to view the last half of the video on YouTiube @whitleystrieberdreamland.

Most of us believe that OBEs are possible, but it’s only theoretical. Listen as OBE master Samantha Treasure takes us down the path into the reality of a powerful and important human capability that has been tragically suppressed in modern times. Let’s wake up to ourselves!

Is it REALLY possible that the dead are not dead, but simply in another state of being? Given his life with Anne, continuing now for 10 years after her death, and then last week’s stunner of a show with a guest who seems to have returned from the afterlife, Whitley has been on a quest to find a new approach to the whole issue. This show, with Oxford educated researcher Chris Carter, is part of that quest.

Mac Tonnies, who died in 2010 at the age of 35, was  a genius. Simple as that. His 2010 book The Cryptoterrestrials (published shortly after his untimely death) reads, as Whitley and Mac’s friend Greg Bishop say in this show, like a book that should have been published in 2025. And maybe that’s what Mac wanted when an astonishing event happened at the 2025 Contact in the Desert gathering. In the show, Whitley explains the event, and for our video viewers, shows the ultra-high strangeness origin of the haunting image of Mac you can see above. Then Whitley and Greg respect what we believe to be a direct request from Mac, and provide an in-depth discussion of The Cryptoterrestrials. 

In this edition of Dreamland, Whitley covers subjects such as the Jeffrey Epstein case, the danger of making AI your guru, and just why the emergence of non-human entities into our daily lives is going to be so hard to handle–not, perhaps for people who follow this subject, but what about the billions who know nothing about the UAP phenomenon, let alone have ever even entertained the idea that aliens may one day walk among us.

Renowned British paranormal researcher Andy Thomas joins Whitley for an in depth discussion of just what is happening in the world of the strange. Over the past 50 years, what we think of as the paranormal has become more and more a part of life, to the point that, as we move into the next few years, what was once considered impossible is going to come seem ordinary. Along with the "regularization" of the paranormal is going to come UAP disclosure and a growing awareness that what we now think of as extreme strangeness is actually the real world, and what we now consider ordinary is so limited that it is a kind of illusion.

We’re so used to claims of something big happening in the near future turning out to be wrong that we hardly notice them anymore. But what happens if one turns out to be right? If nonhumans appear suddenly, the consequences will be at least chaotic, and possibly even catastrophic.

This amazing, important and prophetic Dreamland featuring the great Jim Marrs (1943-2017) originally ran on September 4, 2010. For July 4, 2025 we reprise it with a commentary from Whitley Strieber that brings it frighteningly up to date. In 2010, Jim published a devastating book called The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy, and you will never forget the information you will get from this fiery, impassioned interview about it. Listen as Jim lays it out: there are no real political parties. It's all an illusion. And worse, the people waiting in the wings to replace the incumbents are at least as bad and probably worse. Why? The reason is simple: as Jim points out, Prince Philip, one of the leaders of the global establishment said, if he could be reincarnated after he died, he would want to come back as a deadly virus that would solve the population problem. And who is that problem? Not the folks in the limousines, you can be sure. YOU are the problem, and you need to take action to save yourselves and your children. Listen and find out not only what's wrong, but what we can do to save ourselves from an elite that is out of touch, out of control and, frankly, just plain out to lunch. Jim's website is JimMarrs.com.

In this show Whitley reminds us that we live in a prison of materialism. But there is so much more, and Simon Bown has written a book that can convince even the most intense skeptic that consciousness does not begin and end in the brain, that life has meaning and beauty and importance, and we are part of a great cycle of consciousness that is worth living in and participating in
